Powering the Plains

Powering the Plains is an effort of state officials, industry participants, agriculture representatives and renewable energy advocacy groups working on energy and agriculture initiatives that address climate change while promoting regional economic development. Participants in the process hail from North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Canadian Province of Manitoba. Powering the Plains addresses energy and agricultural issues through the development of an integrated energy strategy, policy recommendations, and demonstration projects.
